I've been spending a lot of time making mockups and creating orchestral arrangements of non-orchestral pieces. Some of my VSTs have a dizzying array of patches, and some have dozens of keyswitches, and are a bit of a pain to program. I'm happy with how my stuff sounds, but sometimes doesn't have as much life and "motion" as I'd like (one mockup I did somehow sounded slower that the original, despite having a higher BPM). Sometimes I knock it out of the park, and other times it's a bit sterile...and instead of jumping ship every time I get distracted by every pretty sounding VST demo, I want to really get adept at what I have.
Are there any good tutorials on getting the most expression out of instruments? And what are some good exercises, that won't require days of arranging, and will let me focus on practicing getting a lot of expression out of my virtual instruments?
